Sly Cooper is the main protagonist of the Sly Cooper video game series and hero of four platform games developed by Sucker Punch Productions (the fourth one was developed by Sanzaru Games) for the PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, and PlayStation Vita. Sly is voiced by Kevin Miller. Sly is a raccoon who is descended from a long line of master thieves, and uses his skills and the help of his friends, Bentley and Murray, to pull off heists.

The series revolves around Bert Raccoon and married couple Ralph and Melissa Raccoon, who Bert is a friend and roommate of. The series mostly involved the trio's efforts against the industrialist forces of greedy aardvark millionaire Cyril Sneer, who usually tries to destroy the forest for a quick buck. However, the Raccoons would always save their forest from Cyril's schemes, with help from their forest friends including Schaeffer, a gentle sheepdog, Cedric, Cyril's college graduate son, and Sophia Tutu, Cedric's girlfriend. But, as the show progressed, Cyril became more of a sympathetic character, eventually becoming an anti-hero. Lessons featured in the show mainly included environmentalism, but also included other lessons, including friendship, and teamwork.
